Is A Red Patch On The Thyroid Gland Region Indicative Of Thyroid Disease?
Hello, It will be a skin condition probably like eczema. It is not related to the thyroid gland. As a first line management, you can apply low potency steroid creams like betamethasone for symptomatic relief. If the lesion persists, it is better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
